Health & Safety and Insurance

It is really important for businesses to have both a proactive and participative health and safety culture in their work place and also the right insurance cover for any potential breaches of the new legislation.

Crombie Lockwood has a dedicated team of specialists responsible for keeping up to speed with regulatory changes and how those changes might affect insurance policies and insurance cover.

While there is no specific insurance product available for Health and Safety the good news is there are existing liability insurance policies that provide protection; Directors and Officers Liability, Management and Statutory Liability.

Health and Safety at Work Act 2015

There should be no need to make any amendments to a Directors and Officers, Management or Statutory Liability insurance policy to ensure it will respond to claims brought for breaches of the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015.

One thing that the new Act has not changed is that actual fines remain uninsurable as they have been for some years.

The insurance policies offered by Crombie Lockwood do cover defence costs associated with a prosecution under the Act and also for any reparations that are awarded.

The legal costs of defending an action may well increase given that the new Act introduces much wider duties that have yet to be tested in court and because significantly more time and expense will be required to examine the validity of claims.

Crombie Lockwood has got you covered with a comprehensive solution for all your Health and Safety insurance needs. For more information please make an enquiry and one of our brokers will be in touch with you.
